I went back to the one Lowes that had the good stuff and got $55 more:-) I did get two Ericas plus 2 more 3 gallon azaleas: another 'Orchid Lights' and 'Mt Saint Helens'; another dwarf burford holly, 2 different Cotoneasters (a 3 gal pot and a 1 gal pot), a seedless Concord grape, an Encore azalea, Arborvitae 'Rheingold'. I know there is more but I can't remember just now.

Vegangirl, it sounds like you are doing what my h and I will be doing in a few years after I get out of school- building a house. We want to move away from the city and nosy neighbors and small yards and have some ROOM to breathe and have children and let our animals roam (with fences, though). I have way too many plants crammed into our small front yard, since the dogs go outside to play in the backyard and would play w/ my plants. All the properties we've seen so far w/ houses have been more than we could afford so we have talked about building a barn(or wood workshop) and living in it while building a house. Both of us are handy, but my arthritis in my spine is giving me fits this week, just from building some new beds and planting bulbs in them. Too many hours spent bending over, I guess, but who knew that arthritis could be such a factor at 33?

Okay, I am rambling, but it's a topic that is on my mind a lot and I was up until 5 am working on a paper. I'll blame it on lack of sleep.

Duane, wonderful!!
